Conceptual Model of Occupational Safety and Health Management System in Office-Based Workplace

Abstract

∗Occupational accidents and diseases are directly related to reduced work capacity, premature retirement, or death. Even-though many occupational safety and health management systems (OSHMS) have proven to be effective under controlled conditions, their implementation in practice is often complicated. It may not work as expected, primarily when referring to office–based workplaces. The present study aims to develop a conceptual model to understand better system variables’ interconnection based on multi-actor perspectives. The related stakeholders are the leading policymakers and OSH actors directly connected with the organization's goal. A conceptual model would help further develop this study with a quantitative model to measure the impacts of various scenarios for improvement.
